ROSSIKE: ...............................................Kettle Calling Pot Black


The Catholic church is the biggest financial power, wealth accumulator and property owner in existence. It is a greater possessor of material riches than any other single institution, corporation, bank, giant trust, government or state of the whole globe.

The pope, as the visible ruler of this immense amassment of wealth, is consequently the richest individual of our century. No one can realistically assess how much he is worth in terms of billions of dollars.

The Pope travels all over the world and chides humanity for not showing mercy and give away what little we have for the poor, the homeless, the starving.

Yet, when the Pope, the richest man in the world, travels to areas devastated by climate or earthquakes, all he does is benevolently lay his hand on the head of the wounded and dying and makes the sign of the cross, blessing them and then walking off.

The Vatican has large investments with the Rothschilds of Britain, France and America, with the Hambros Bank, with the Credit Suisse in London and Zurich. In the United States it has large investments with the Morgan Bank, the Chase-Manhattan Bank, the First National Bank of New York, the Bankers Trust Company, and others. The Vatican has billions of shares in the most powerful international corporations including in many corporations part of the US Military Industrial Complex whose main profit is from weapons of war and destruction.

The Catholic Church probably ranks second only to the United States Government in total annual purchase of real estate in the USA.
The Catholic church is the biggest corporation in the United States. It has a branch office in every neighborhood. The assets and real estate holdings exceed those of Exxon/Mobil, A.T.&T., and U.S. Steel combined and it’s roster of dues-paying members is second only to the tax rolls of the United States Government.’

The Catholic church is the most formidable stockbroker in the world.

The Vatican’s treasure of solid gold has been estimated by the United Nations World Magazine to amount to several billion dollars. A large bulk of this is stored in gold ingots with the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, while banks in England and Switzerland hold the rest.

When to this is added all the real estate, property, stocks and shares abroad, then the staggering accumulation of the wealth of the Catholic church becomes so formidable as to defy any rational assessment.

Very good analysis. The Catholic church is stinking rich.

But what does that have to do with Catholic Nigerian Bishops standing by the truth and on the side of the people unlike the Pentecostals who are supposedly the bearer of the real gospel truth of Jesus?

ROSSIKE:

The Catholics should recall their own scriptural verse:

''You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.''
Matthew 7:5

Can you remind us all once more why and how the Catholic Church is the single richest organization on earth?

How did they come about such wealth?

Pukkah: This is for the attention of Rossike and others that may want to tow his fallacious path:


Attacking the Person
(argumentum ad hominem)

Definition:
The person presenting an argument is attacked instead of the argument itself.

This takes many forms. For example, the person's character, tribe or religion may be attacked. Alternatively, it may be pointed out that a person stands to gain from a favourable outcome. Or, finally, a person may be attacked by association, or by the company he keeps.
There are three major forms of Attacking the Person:

Ad hominem (abusive): instead of attacking an assertion, the argument attacks the person who made the assertion.
Ad hominem (circumstantial): instead of attacking an assertion the author points to the relationship between the person making the assertion and the person's circumstances.
Ad hominem (tu quoque): this form of attack on the person notes that a person does not practise what he preaches.
Examples:
You may argue that God doesn't exist, but you are just a fat idiot. (ad hominem abusive)

Why are you saying that the Jonathan government is not doing well when your own father never won an election?

Let's ignore whatever ACN says about the failing economy because the party stands to benefit from a weak PDP. (ad hominem circumstantial)

We should disregard Femi Falana's argument because he is just angry about the fact that defendant once ran away with his fee. (ad hominem circumstantial)

You say I should give up alcohol, but you haven't been sober for more than a year yourself. (ad hominem tu quoque)
You claim that Mr. Jones is innocent, but why should anyone listen to you? You are a Muslim (or Christian) after all. (ad hominem circumstantial)


Let's stay on the issues please. The Bishops have spoken well.

All it takes for evil to succeed is when good people fold their arms.

Demdem: The wealth of the catholic church does not concern me. After all, nothing suggest it was gotten illegally. However, the thievery currently going on in my country does. Infact, that is the purpose of this thread and the reason why the bishops are crying foul.

Rossikk: You are obviously a blind bat who sees what you want to see. You did not read the article I posted? Your catholic church has made billions off the weapons manufacturing industry. Off the deaths of countless millions of innocents. Shouldn't they be getting to the bottom of such evil before accusing others of anything?

Demdem:

Foool, what has that got to do with the monumental theft currently going on in our country as alleged by the priests? Is there any linkage?
Is that the purpose of this thread?
Foolish boy.

Rossikk: It has everything to do with it you dumb, re.tarded slave. If a well known armed robber worth 50 million dollars goes around chiding pickpockets for stealing 50 naira from pedestrians, what would be your reaction?

Pukkah: This is for the attention of Rossike and others that may want to tow his fallacious path...

Demdem:

Foool, what has the catholic church stolen from ur miserable self or country?

It has nothing to do with it.

Face the topic and stop blaming the pope goon.

ROSSIKE:

Unquantifiable, you ignorant animal.

And not just my country. Hundreds of other countries.

Iddiota, How and when and what has the Catholic church stolen from ur country? compare that to what ur miserable politicians have either squandered or stolen. What a fool u are.


[s]It has ''nothing to do with it'' because you're a bumbling, stup.id moro.n with the IQ of a gnat.

Why don't you let me come and rob you blind in your house and then I'll come out on TV the next day to pontificate on morality? Let's see how you take it.[/s]

Pointless. Foolish arsehole

What topic? There's a lawyers' saying that ''He comes to equity must come with clean hands.'' Your hands cannot be stained with the blood and wealth of billions of innocents, while you come out issuing orders for people ''not to be corrupt''.

Why are they the richest organization on earth, in blatant, direct contravention of their 'lord's' injunction to shun wealth and materialism? Have they obeyed their own 'Lord' and followed their own tenets before telling others what to do?

And what crime has they commited in acquring wealth? Was it legitimate or illegitimate? are u their "lord" to determine if what they are doing is out of place or not? why dont u leave the justice for their "lord" to adjudicate. whats ur business with that?
U are such a pig.

HNosegbe:

Pukkah how far now? Haven't seen you in the Politics section for a while now.

Pukkah:

Hello my brother. Long time indeed.

Although I've been very busy but I do look in sometimes ...to see the extent that the unthinking government lapdogs and 'first to comment' kids that have infested the place have taken the forum.

Thanks!

texazzpete: Please ignore this troll ROSSIKE

The thrice accursed m0r0n spends all his time babbling about CIA and conspiracy theories and other rubbish concerning other countries...yet he sits happily by while his own country burns with corruption, poverty, disease and anarchy.

The source of the Catholic Church's wealth is of no import here. The Vatican is not being discussed here. What we are discussing is the stern criticism of the corruption that runs through the heart of this PDP Government. Naturally, as a member of the 40 Laptop squad, he is desperately trying to deflect attention away from the burning issues and distract us with red herrings until the more intelligent spin-doctors like Sincere9gerian come around to tell us how the Catholic Bishops are responsible for all the corruption in Nigeria.

Please don't feed the troll.
